MediaPlayer doesn't support VP9 and Opus codecs

[X512]

This is hrev50152.

MediaPlayer shows "General system error" when trying to open webm video with VP9 video and Opus audio codecs. WebPositive plays this file, but with lags.

MediaPlayer writes following in Terminal:

As I understand Haiku uses ffmpeg so enabling these codecs should be not difficult.

On x86_gcc2 builds, MediaPlayer is built with gcc2 and uses ffmpeg version 0.10, which is quite ancient. I don't know if it supports such formats. WebPositive uses ffmpeg 3.0 which is much better but doesn't work with gcc2. An option is compiling MediaPlayer with gcc4 to use the newer ffmpeg for it.
